“allocating health care resources more prudently “
In a collective, centrally planned economy,,of course. In a free market economy, there is no need to “allocate resources”. But i swear by all thats holy, if i ever have money to pay, and am refused a needed treatment for me or one i love,, I will inform the doctor to review the Sopranos doctor on the golf course scene.
People who enjoy telling others that their life is not valuable enough to preserve, run the risk that the soon to be involuntarily euthanized might make a similar choice about THEM. That damned mathmatical Symetric property gets ya everytime.
I know a friend who was getting two treatments of chemo a week....’they’ have now decided they will only give him one treatment a week for no other reason but cost. And people thought Palin was crazy talking about death panels? Good scene in Sopranos....
